Cellar duel on Sunday: Erlangen cheers, Magdeburg back in the league!

In the handball Bundesliga, things got down to business at the weekend. HC Erlangen secured its first victory of the season in the basement duel against VfL Potsdam with a 23:19. Both teams had difficulties, but Erlangen was able to break away in the second half and thus score important points. On Saturday, the THW Kiel also prevailed with 29:24 against Stuttgart and TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, which won 28:26 against Eisenach. Melsungen, on the other hand, needed until the final minute to assert himself against SG BBM Bietigheim with 26:24.

Another highlight was the return of SC Magdeburg, who, as Vice-Club World Champion, is now returning to the Bundesliga after the final defeat against Veszprem in Egypt. On Monday, Magdeburg meets Frisch on Göppingen, which is still waiting for his first win of the season. At the same time, the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, after their first defeat of the season in Leipzig, hope to find it back to win when they compete against HSV Hamburg, who goes into play with a new goalkeeper duo after Johannes Bitter has ended his career.
